on my absence

some seattle love from early in the year

i've been ignoring my blogging hobby as of late, & i do apologize but biology tests, labs, finance and accounting tests are my priority. i am very sorry but as soon as i get my stuff together i'll be posting at least every other day, if not daily. but until then i'll leave you with my apology & this song.




ps~ this band, hey marseilles, is from seattle & i saw them at bumbershoot & they were awesome, & totes adorbs.

around campus

1) post card from my sister from when we went to the jewish contemporary museum 

2) a spider web i saw while walking through a mini forest on campus with the sun shining through

3) flower arrangements from the famous pike place market

4) a "cowboy cookie" from rosewood cafe

fun fair

as you may or may not know i am from san francisco, i'm just your typical city gal. i thought i had been to a state fair but no i haven't. because they entail livestock, rodeos, & fried butter. all things that are practically illegal in san francisco. so i went to the puyallup fair last weekend ( i know it's thursday & i'm talking about last weekend),  & my mind was on overdrive on all the cool things i saw:

naked cats, cows, baby goats, fried whatever you want, so much western wear, bbqs, & a ton of rides. 

yes that is a "naked cat"

young the giant

ever heard of young the giant? i'm sure you have, because they were practically the songtrack to my summer. thought i'd share one of my favorites. happy wednesday! the weekend is...











almost here!


sorry i've been super busy and posting has been super irregular, i'll get on it.

by the way

just thought i should let you know.

passion pit

my roommate & i spent labor day in seattle at bumbershoot. it was such a fun (& exhausting) day! we saw best coast, m83 (crazy mosh pit!), the pains of being pure at heart, kina grannis, hey marseilles, & passion pit. after all the musical fun we walked over to dick's (a popular burger joint in seattle) for some cheeseburgers, fries, & shakes. it was my first bumbershoot experience but i can't wait for many more in the future.

weekend life

donuts on donuts

really cute crumpet shop

this weekend was a blast! it started out on saturday when some friends & i headed north to seattle for the day. we ate some donuts (maple, bacon & peach), tried some piroshkis (rhubarb, beef & cheese, & salmon), bought flowers, & took in the sights of seattle. i hardly go up to seattle but when i do i'm always convinced that i'm eventually going to live there. that night we participated in a scavenger hunt that had my friends & i running all around the school. although we didn't win we had a great time & even got to pose with the trophy! on monday i went to bumbershoot- a super fun musical festival held in seattle- but more on that later.
